Clear skies forecast for Brazil's Bahia ahead of World Cup opener

The Instituto do Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos (Inema) predicts stable, sunny conditions across the state of Bahia on the weekend of 13 June 2026, when the Brazilian national football team plays its opening match of the World Cup. A high‑pressure system near the coast will inhibit cloud formation, keeping most of the state under clear skies with temperatures ranging from the low‑20s °C inland to the mid‑30s °C in the interior. Coastal areas, including Salvador, may see brief cloud bouts but no significant rain is expected at the 19:00 kickoff.

In nearby Vitória da Conquista, the forecast calls for a mostly cloudy day on 12 June with a low chance of precipitation (around 3 %). Temperatures are expected to stay between 15 °C and 26 °C, with weak to moderate winds and high humidity. The same pattern is projected for Saturday, keeping the weather stable and dry for the region.
